- Perfect Match (1994 game show)
Perfect Match is the title of a 1994 ESPN game show hosted by Ken Ober of "Remote Control" fame and co-hosted by Challen Cates. Lou DiMaggio was the announcer. This show had nothing to do with two American syndicated shows by this title-- one from 1968 hosted by Dick Enberg, and another from 1986 hosted by Bob Goen.
Main Game
In each half, two men and two women competed in a "Concentration"-style game by making six matches on a board that had sports figures on them, past and present. Each right answer scored one point in round one and two points in round two. Any time they didn't match, they lost control. The contestant who collected the highest score went on to a bonus round.
Bonus Round
The man and woman who won their half of the game would pair up to match 12 sports figures on a board within 45 seconds. Matching them all won a bonus prize.
Home Viewers
Home viewers could participate in special phone games, and the winner each month got $2,500 from Ken.
